Proposal: Boston /Calgary

[wintersej]

Tkachuk is definitely worth more than McAvoy. They were in the same draft and every redraft still puts Tkachuk ahead of McAvoy for a reason

2016 2nd OA in a Re-draft

 

[kthx]

Imo it's minimum 2 first rounders and even if we add a 3rd it's more of a quantity not a quality deal.
I think even then CGY says no.

 

[Sparky93]

That’s a little disingenuous considering Pasta was in and out if the line up his first couple years because he wasn’t big enough.

Its just a simple stat, not claiming Tkachuk is better either but both are pretty impressive

2016 2nd OA in a Re-draft

Fair enough, like I've said McAvoy is very good but I wouldn't trade Tkachuk for him personally

 

[BostonBob]

To BOS: Giordano, Monahan, 1st
To CGY: Pastanak

Fair deal - we would take that all day long

No - you might take that deal but Don Sweeney ( thankfully ) would not.

Extremely fair. He is a corner stone building block for you guys, home grown, and is the devil you know.

They both probably go 2 and 3 in a redraft with Fox/DeBrincat right after them, comes down to preference.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Apologies from a Bruins fan on this horrid proposal for one of your top players.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

No - you might take that deal but Don Sweeney ( thankfully ) would not.

Monahan would excel in Boston's defensive system.

Gio would do well too especially if Boston wants to make another serious cup run with Rask still in his prime. I could see Gio

Both would be solid additions to their roster. I bet if the Flames threw in Lindholm, the Bruins do it since Lindholm jumps right into Pastas spot on the top line. It would suck to see the Flames losing Lindholm since he's been very good this year but if you have the opportunity to land an all star elite winger like Pasta, you do it.

TO BOS: Monahan, Giordano, Lindholm
TO CGY: Pasta

Done deal

TO BOS: Monahan, Giordano, Lindholm
TO CGY: Pasta

And if you have the opportunity to keep an all star elite winger like Pasta you don't do it.

Love Pastrnak, but who plays centre for him if Calgary moves out Monahan and Lindholm? Maybe if the Flames have a deal in place to sign RNH?

In no universe would the bruins trade pasta for a struggling monahan for can’t drive a line. And a great d man but way past his prime. Lindholm is a nice piece tho

 

[Horton Hears A Woo]

Done deal

Done deal

I thank god you have no control over the bruins because you would leave this team in shambles

 

[GreeningOil]

I dislike Calgary and Tkachuk as much as the next Oiler fan... but that package doesn’t move the needle

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Love Pastrnak, but who plays centre for him if Calgary moves out Monahan and Lindholm? Maybe if the Flames have a deal in place to sign RNH?

No no you miss the point here, Pasta is not good defensively so we essentially tank for Shane Wright then we have an elite goal scorer when we draft him.

 

[blankall]

No no you miss the point here, Pasta is not good defensively so we essentially tank for Shane Wright then we have an elite goal scorer when we draft him.

The odds of that happening, even if Calgary does go full tank, are very low. Firstly, it's very challenging to outsuck teams like Detroit, Ottawa, and Buffalo. If the Flames do manage to do so, the odds of hitting #1 overall are still low.

Pastrnak is also in his prime now. Giving up a bunch of assets to acquire him and then wait for a #1 centre to arise is pretty bad asset management.

better defensively then you may think

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

better defensively then you may think

1. My entire comment was satire
2. Sure but I think that has to do a lot more with his linemates than him. Gaudreau is also better defensively than you may think

 

[BlackFrancis]

What do Calgary fans think Giordano's worth?

The Bruins could use him to partner with McAvoy for ~20 games and then get exposed to the ED. I figured the biggest enticement would be Boston's ability to take his salary on without requiring retention but I don't have a feel for where the Flames are going with him. Normally, you never ask about a team's captain, but you hear the grumbling and see the little spats earlier in the season, so I have no idea. That cluelessness is increased with the Flames hovering on the playoff bubble.
